Overview

All current faculty, staff, and students receive a BLUE account with two email addresses automatically assigned to them; while they are active members of the University Community. For faculty and staff this generally means while they are either under contract or currently employed according to HR.  For students, this means from when you have been accepted until 1 year after your last enrolled course.

Each individual has two email addresses automatically assigned to them.  These addresses point to the same mailbox so you do not need to go to multiple mailboxes to review your messages. (YourFirstNameLastName@creighton.edu and YourNetID@creighton.edu)

Get Started

You will receive a letter or email from the Admissions Office or HR welcoming you to Creighton.  This letter will contain your NetID and instructions on activating your Creighton account.  Account activation will create a "forgotten password" profile which will allow you to reset your password by sending a code to your mobile devise, if you list the number when setting up your account. The Blue password along with your NetID will get you into email (Office 365), Creighton's learning management system, NEST and other academic applications.  Full instructions are found here.

Features

A BLUE account allows you access to various systems and services at Creighton including Office 365 (email), the NEST (Banner), CUWireless (secure wireless access), and VPN among many many others.

Cost

Email is provided free of charge to CU students, faculty and staff.

How to get email

After activating your Blue account, CU email can be access by using either the Cloud Version or Desktop Versions of Outlook. To access your email via the web, go to: https://portal.office.com (Links to an external site.) Log in with your NetID@creighton.edu and your BLUE password.

You can also remotely access you email by going to the Creighton homepage http://www.creighton.edu.  Click the Full Menu (upper right). Select Office365 under Resources. From there you will have access to your email plus the other features of Office 365.
